Andrew Ducker revealed this to me via a telepathic can/string combo:

I’ve started a new community for folks who enjoy the weekend and the weekender lifestyle. Relax. Visit. Join.

It’s called BigHarpoon and don’t ask me why; I came up with the name when I first created the site BigHarpoon.com in 2001. I just wanted to created a weekender community, but it turned into an online journal when blogs were still a couple of years away.

Also: I wouldn’t mind having a few other contributors to this if anyone’s interested.

Update: BigHarpoon, sadly, is gone away now.

This definitely proves that there’s no god. Right? I mean, the guy clearly stated that if there was a god, then he would be saved. And I quote: “God will save me, if he exists” at which point he lowers himself into the pen where the lioness sidles over and promptly severs his carotid artery. Now, I’m not sure if this guy was a Christian or Muslim or (insert religion here), but one thing I never really understood is: Why do religious people think God exists to prove His/Her existence to them? Frankly, I would think that would be way, way back on the list of Things To Do by the Almighty.

“Oh, crap, lately I haven’t given Joe Shmoe proof of my existence, I’d better get right to giving him a miracle he can hang his hat on. Because today, Joe, it’s all about you! Of course, last week I gave Bob proof of my existence and he’s still running around with a sign proclaiming he’s Jesus reincarnated. Dumbass.”

Going on a picnic today with the family, so very little writing will get done-if any. Had to work all day yesterday and Friday night, too, but that’s what I get for picking my field. Every now and then I has ta works da weekendz. As a fortunate byproduct, I was able to read the last 100 pgs of “The Sparrow” by Mary Doria Russell. Very Good Book.

My son watches this PBS show called Big Big World and it has a very cool theme song.
